Thus, we encounter aerobic or facultative aerobis bacteria (Bacilli class) and strict anaerobes (Clostridia class) as well as species adapted to extremes of temperature (cold and hot -up to 70° C) and salt (in the genus Halobacillus).

Having stable haploid and diploid phases allows deleterious mutations to be maintained in the diploid cells but analized in the haploid cells.

The herpesviruses that aggravated CJ (chapter 17) and distressed the newborn's parents are members of the Herpesviridae family. In addition to herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2), the eight members include other pathogens you may recognize: varicella-zoster virus (the agent of chickenpox and shingles; case study, chapter 18) and Epstein-Barr virus (the cause of mononucleosis; chapter 18).

p. 698

Two days later, the lab confirmed that the cultured cells had died and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) was identified by PCR.

Consider the microbial population that inhabits the digestive tract of the medicinal leech Hirudo verbena. This bloodsucking worm attaches to the skin of animals, including humans, using its posterior sucker.

For example, if you are interested in isolating histidine auxotrophs (His^-) from a mixture of mutants you grow the culture in a medium lacking that amino acid to stop the growth of the His^- yet permit the growth of the others.

In many cases, the sensor protein is a histidine kinase, a sensory protein that phosphorylates one of its own histidine residues when it senses the stressor (Fig. 12.2).

p. 480

A viral protein (holin) assembles on the inner membrane where it makes pores (Fig. 17,13).

p. 32

To increase its rigidity and presumably to reduce its permeability even more, some bacteria also have sterol-like molecules called hopanoids in their membranes (Box 2.1).

p. 495

Having solved the problem of host cell survival, a latent virus must keep the expression of its genes under control.

The human microbiome: are we just like any other environment?

p. 567

Interestingly, the genes encoding the enzymes (ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine dehydrogenase) that allow some Nitrospira species to oxidize ammonia all the way to nitrate are phylogenetically distinct and thus unique to the comammox microbes.

In the last few years, scientists have identified hyperthermophilic archaea that grow at autoclave termperatures.
